As you pray for the Holy Spirit to make you aware of thoughts that come into your mind that don’t line up with God’s Word, you’ll begin to realize when those thoughts come and you can renew your mind with the Word.

A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.

Humility may well be one of the most difficult of the fruit of the Spirit to be cultivated in us – and to maintain. That’s because without humility, it’s not likely that you will put your complete trust in God.

A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Heaven gives us hope and makes our present burdens easier to bear.

God is on my side, and that’s all I need. I get up in the morning, I pray to God. I don’t pray to the president, the governor, the mayor, no black caucus, no this and that. I pray to God, and that’s the end of it.

But God can only smile because only God can know what is coming next.

A man lives by believing something: not by debating and arguing about many things.

It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.

I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

You don’t see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.

It is not the body’s posture, but the heart’s attitude that counts when we pray.

When the mind is empty, silent, when it is in a state of complete negation – which is not blankness, nor the opposite of being positive, but a totally different state in which all thought has ceased – only then is it possible for that which is unnameable to come into being.

Stay active. Read the Word. Worship with other believers. Continue to give. Keep learning and growing. Your faith will be unleashed!

Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.

A man of courage is also full of faith.

The best way to know God is to love many things.

I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

I believe God’s keeping the records, and I believe you will be rewarded even in this life. Somehow, some way, God will make it up to you. It may be He protected you from an accident you never knew. You can’t give God something without God giving you more in return, whether it’s peace or joy or satisfaction.

There is absolutely no power in our human effort to live holy. It is only by His grace. And the result of receiving grace is we get better at living like Christ, which is something we all want, right?

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.

Faith never makes a confession.

But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people, and do our best to help them find their own grace. That’s what I strive to do, that’s what I pray to do every day.

Forgiveness is not a one-time thing that happened the day you received Christ. It is an everyday thing, for the rest of your life.

Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.

The Bible says that as Christians we don’t grieve the same way people do who have no hope of eternity and of Heaven – but we still grieve.

Though we may know Him by a thousand names, He is one and the same to us all.

To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

All our actions, as well as our thoughts and words, should praise Him who always blesses us.

A Christian who does not pray for those who govern is not a good Christian.

I certainly know that I would not be able to survive if it were not for the fact that I am being upheld by the prayers of so many people.

The Gospel has never changed.

Martyrs do not underrate the body, they allow it to be elevated on the cross. In this they are at one with their antagonists.

Love of God is not always the same as love of good.

Obedience brings success; exact obedience brings miracles.

I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.

In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.

If I were a Roman Catholic, I should turn a heretic, in sheer desperation, because I would rather go to heaven than go to purgatory.

I am radically, insanely, nutty in love with Jesus!

Find new ways to spread the word of God to every corner of the world.

There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man’s lack of faith in his true Self.

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Neither of my parents went to church, but they did everything that you needed to do to be Christian. That’s something a Quaker would call an intimation of the divine.

I believe in God – not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.

One’s own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one’s Maker and no one else’s.

I believe that God’s dream is that we be successful in our careers, and that we be able to send our kids to college. I don’t mean that everyone is going to be rich, and I preach a lot on blooming where you’re planted. But I don’t have the mindset that money is a bad thing.

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.

The last thing the devil wants you to do is be an obedient Christian.

Do you know something? The minute that blood sacrifice was accepted, Jesus was the first human being that was ever born again. Now that was real – it happened when he was in Hell.

Whenever I’m confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.

In the same way the sun never grows weary of shining, nor a stream of flowing, it is God’s nature to keep His promises. Therefore, go immediately to His throne and say, ‚Do as You promised.‘

You better take care of me Lord, if you don’t you’re gonna have me on your hands.

If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.

In the affairs of this world, men are saved not by faith, but by the want of it.

Yes, God does expect us to live holy, consecrated lives. But not even the best of our intentions can make it happen. Thankfully, He doesn’t expect us to make ourselves holy. He just wants us to learn to depend on Him to make us holy.

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.

There are a lot of ‚chicken Christians.‘ Chickens are generally afraid of life, and they seldom fly or reach their potential in life. And when a storm comes, all they seem to do is flap around the chicken yard, stirring up dirt and running to the chicken house.
